Following last week’s reveal, the EA Sports WRC team shared a new deep dive video, offering a look at what players can expect in the upcoming 2024 Season Expansion, scheduled for release on October 8. The video highlights the new cars, drivers, liveries, and locations, while also explaining how the expansion integrates with the base game across different modes.
The 2024 Season Expansion introduces five new cars across the three main WRC categories. In the WRC category, players will have access to the Ford Puma Rally1 HYBRID ’24, the Hyundai i20 N Rally1 HYBRID ’24, and the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 HYBRID ’24. In the WRC2 category, the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 joins the lineup, while the Junior WRC category features the Ford Fiesta Rally3 Evo.
Two New locations, 24 New stages – Two new locations will be added to EA SPORTS WRC’s existing 600+ km of unique rally stages: WRC Orlen 80th Rally Poland, returning to the Championship after a seven-year hiatus, and WRC Tet Rally Latvia, which made its WRC debut this year.
These locations add a total of 24 stages, including four authentically recreated ‘hero stages’, Świętajno, Gmina Mrągowo, Vecpils, and Podnieki. Players can race in various weather conditions and times of day across all game modes, offering a true test of skills in varying conditions.
New Liveries & Crews – Over 50 liveries and crews from the current FIA World Rally Championship season are included. All of these liveries are available to use across all supported game modes, and the real-world driver and co-driver pairings will act as AI opponents.
Two Additional Content Packs – Players who pick up the Expansion will get two additional themed content packs; ‘Le Maestros’ and ‘Hard Chargers’, coming in Winter 2024/2025 and Spring 2025, respectively. These will feature more content including historic cars, liveries, classic stages, and unique Moments to experience.
